The book “The War Against the Triple Alliance” by Marxist author Ronald Leon Nuñez was launched in Assunción last August 14, 2019.

Militant Paraguayan Labor Federation CCT Issued a statement denouncing Paraguayan authorities for the secret agreement with Brazilian administration about bi-national Itaipu dam.

Faced with the deep crisis that the country is experiencing in the wake of the scandalous secret agreement signed behind the people’s backs by the national government, which undermines the wealth and sovereignty of the Paraguayan people, and the positions assumed by different political and social sectors on the crisis , we state the following […]

“A nation cannot become free and at the same time continue to oppress other nations”                                   (On Poland – Friedrich Engels – 1847) “No nation can be free if it oppresses other nations”      (The Question of Peace – […]

The Paraguayan people took the streets on July 27, 2019 against a new agreement with Brazil which increases the price of energy in 40%.

European Union and Mercosur officials signed an agreement on July 28 which is meant to increase trade between 28 European countries and the four members of Mercosur (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay).

            The free commerce deal between Mercosur and the European Union (EU), announce with fireworks and fanfare by Bolsonaro and celebrated by the press, reaffirms the submission of the country to the big international economic groups. And deepens the role of Mercosur and Brazil as colonies and suppliers of natural resources to the world market.

Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro praised the military dictatorships of Brazil and Paraguay in the inauguration of general Joaquim Silva e Luna, former Defense Minister of Temer, who was appointed president of the binational Itaipu power plant.

The Working Class Confederation (CCT) strongly condemns the amendment born from the agreement between Cartes, Lugo and Llano, who are violating basic forms of institutionality to the effect of imposing the reelection of figures well known by us because of their economic and repressive attacks against the working and unionist movement. The assault by the […]

The brutal assault carried out by Cartes, Lugo and Llano caused the justified rebellion of thousands of people, most of them youth, in clear opposition to the approval of the Constitutional Amendment passed in less than 30 minutes; rebellion that developed to the point of setting the Congress on fire.

Rejection and condemnation of police repression; the repression against demonstrators that took place yesterday afternoon and evening in front of the National Congress, where the amendment of the Cartist-Luguist-Llanist alliance was being cooked, hastily and with unexpected malice.

From the Socialist Youth of PT, we salute the occupation that started in the Rca. School, Argentina, and has already extended to the CTN, Commerce 1 & 2; the youth has raised its voice of protest and indignation in front of the indolence, ineffectiveness of Lafuente, and her lies.

   A meeting of five Trade Unions’ Federations decided to call a general strike on December 21 & 22. This is the second motion of this kind taken against the Horacio Cartes government’s economic plan, and its anti-union, anti-social measures. Although this resolution took a long time to pass (ou to be moved), due to the hesitation of some federations’ leaders, and to the treason of others, its success is necessary for […]

CSP-Conlutas and other affiliated entities signing this motion express our total support and unconditional solidarity to Paraguayan workers, and to members of CCT (Working Class Federation), currently preparing a general strike for December 21st and 22nd.
